   Currently the TDML Library only supports execute operation and not generate/append.  We'd need to make updates to the TDML Library itself within daffodil to be able to use the library for all that we currently do.
   
   Steve:
   Currently the TDML library does not support a way to modify TDML files. 
   In fact, I believe all the TDML data structures are immutable and are initialized by reading XML, so there might need to be some refactoring or redesigns to make it more amenable to changes/generation.
   
   But I personally think that would be very valuable. There is a lot of boilerplate related to TDML files, so a programmatic way to hide all that could be very useful. Especially as the VS Code extension matures, I can imagine it completely hiding the fact that there's an XML description of the tests and it all just being in a simple user interface with input/check boxes for data, infoset, roundTrip, validation, run, etc.
